WINTER 2025

THE WINTER SERIES

THE WINTER SERIES

The Winter Series returns this year capturing the magic of the season in four single malt bottlings. From the crisp chill in the air at Hallowe’en to the joyful celebrations of Christmas, Hogmanay and Burns Night, we’ve showing off the season in all its flavours. 

The sparkle of the new year beckons in our New Year’s bottling, We’ll take a cup of kindness yet. It’s a time for new beginnings and for raising a glass to 2026 with this Highland offering from distillery 59.

Smouldering Mojo

Smouldering Mojo

What could top Batch 33, matured in calvados-seasoned STR barriques? Mezcal casks of course! Say hello to Batch 34: Smouldering Mojo.

This ‘Heresy’ small batch blended malt is the first Society release of an Islay whisky matured in casks previously used for smoky, fruity mezcal.

FESTIVE PRIVATE DINING IN EDINBURGH

FESTIVE PRIVATE DINING IN EDINBURGH

Our private dining experiences are available for booking at The Vaults and 28 Queen Street. No two Society whiskies are the same so why would our festive experiences be any different? Three-course festive meals with all the trimmings start at just £58 per person with dates starting from Tuesday, 18 November.


UNCORK THE MAGIC OF THE SEASON

Our tasting experiences offer whisky a taste of festive flavour. Your favourite distillery takeovers and regular calendar events? Tick! Something a bit more festive? Double tick! Each of our Members’ Rooms takes its own spin on tradition. See what’s on and bring a pal or two.



WHISKY WITH A TASTE FOR MEMBERSHIP

Christmas comes once a year, but membership gives them the Society whisky experience for a whole 365 days! Give the gift of one year’s membership and let them see what the Society all about. They’ll enjoy membership for a year and a specially selected 70cl bottle of whisky, tailored to their taste. The beautiful (and fully recyclable) gift box looks simply splendid under the tree.
